A recurrence to firt principles will often lead to the correction and reform of abuses in a republican government which have operated to cast a shadow upon .the cause of popular rights, tending seriously to derogate from the dignity if not endanger the existence of free institutions. First principles act like chemical tests. They detect the base metal and confirm the pure, by an infallible standard. It is due to popular rights and free princi pies to apply those tests whenever we have reason to believe that republican government is perverted to selfish ends, or that a sacred trust h.ld for the bent fit of the whole people has been systematically prostituted to the ad vantage and aggrandizement of a party or a clique. By a singular and atrocious abuse of the public confidence, institutions whose very face proclaims them to have been established lor the public good, have been gradually and specious, ly undermined by the schemes ot dishonorable party combinations, to which purpose they are now exclusively devoted -except the necessary consequences of those measures of government which being of a general character,cannot fail to produce, incidentally, some public benefit or partial advantage to the people. When the .teaeral Constitution was adopted, and for the last ten years afterwards, there ex isted iu this country no political party as a pro fession, distinct from the- great body of the people. Washington's name alone produced an una namity of opinion that left the masses free to act in one solid bodT, independent of all lead ers or factions. The president was elected for his talents, virtue and patriotism. Members of Congress were chosen for their statesmanship, their characters, eloquence, knowledge, fitness and genera; science. Con gress itself deliberated n public measures with out re erence to party bias, and passed laws for the common welfare, independent of individual selfishness. That was the golden age of the republic. It was never dreamed of at that period that the time would come wheu politics, law or med icine, would be a separate profession. Time, however, produces wonderful revolu tions, us well as hideous corruptions, and our once great federal system is now subjected to the sway of politicians as a profession, while the people are sstematically denied participation in the perpetuity of a free,t representative gov ernment based on equal rights. Thus the first principles of the constitution have been subverted by two desperate partus who, in their struggles for Ascendency and pub lie plunder, have ignored every object save the boundless irrauficauan.nt thir &ihh rfpeiornc ..t a fontimmtinn ot tnis liitoinrovenuim iruth, we have only to turn our eyes to the acts of Congress for the past four years. How many uu n are there in that body who t'aithlully represent the people ot the. United States? We put this question emphatically, positive ly with the bfush of hhame on our cheek. Is (litre one in that lody who does not represent, first, himself; secondly, his district; thirdly, his party ; and lastly, if it mast come to that, Where we expect to behold statesmen, inves tigate and discuss, or orators reason and argue, we see nothing but bullies brow-boating one another, and ruffians indulging in contumely and insult. Why is thi- ? The cause wi'.l suggest itself to every rational mind. Politics is now a profession. Party spirit exercises i;s,.impenous sway Principle and decency are overlooked, and! personal merit is merged in the selfish inqui ry whether the candidate for official dignity and emolument can advance the schemes of party action. , So low has this standard been brought, that it has become necessary to establish a spy system, and legions of hired emissaries watch every movement and report every action of disgraceful to free institutions and civiliza- and the voice of the intelligent masses is ' the government official asvstem of cniouwjc silent. In the early history of our country the pco pie displayed intelligent discrimination in se lecting their representatives. Men were chosen for distinguished qualities of head and heart, for their good breeding, their tion, and worthy only of that age which could tolerate the infamous supremacy of the Star Chamber. We affirm, then, that political parties pos sess no riaht to aggrandize themselves at the pousneu manner, tneir lnieueciuai ricne, ineir cost oi tne nation. let, tne democratic ana .. i- i t ti i" . 1 ."it suavity, politeness and urbanity ol deport ment. What must be the character of that party spirit which can thus radically change the td ucation and breeding of its representatives into beasts of prey ? Shame on that party spirit vxhich thus disgraces our country, degrades our public men and undermindsour free institutions, at the same time that it sends its poisonous in ection of rowdyism through the social chan nels of life, disorganizing every branch of its economy, and making us a nation of bullies, in solent and overbearing. Members of Congress should reflect a moment Republican parties have svstematicallv done this, and are utterly unworthy of confidence or support. This fact but enhances the dan ger of our position. As a nation of free peo ple, we stand on the brink of ruin. Our mor al character is well nigh eaten away by the pest-worms of political corruption, and noth ing can save us but the most desperate meas ures of reform. The tide of pollution must be driven back now, or it will engulf us for ever. A party which, like the Republican party, after the second election of Abraham Lincoln, had the opportunity to pchieve for itself greatness, and for the country peace and before they begin to speak or act, and remem- honor, prosperity and glory, ruthlessly viola ber that an audience of more than thirty mil lions of people are straining eyes and ears to see every gesture and catch every word that they make or utter. That what they say or do is to honor or shame, to disgust or please, to en lighten or confound, to improve or debase us. Oneot two changes must be made. We must either elevate Congress higher, or degrade the people lower. There is i total want of uuison between them. How, then, shall it be ? Must the people be degraded to the level of Congress, or shall Congrts be purified, elevated, improved and refined to equal the people? Invoking the spirit of the founders ot the government, and in the name of free principles, we demand that Congress shall ne made ihc school of decorum and decency, instead of the arena for the exhibition ot personal spleen and gladdiatorial brutality. How few ever take the trouble to analyze party delusions, party principles and party pur poses The philosophy of politics can alone instruct us in the duties of patriotism It does not require the application of the spectroscope to reveal the mischievous and in tentional proclivities of the two great parties in the field, nor does it require the ken of a pro phet to foresee their inevitable destruction. Thevices and corruption of the Democratic party caused its overthrow. Bloated with ar- rogauce and insolent usurpation, it sacrificed its ted all its utterances, bestowed its patronage to the highest bidder, and made every avenue of power and official intercourse towards the people pestiducts of moral political rot: whicl since, instead of checking its ruinous course, persists in the most reckless indifference, con verting government measures anil powers in to party instrumentalities, and forcing upon the people iniquitous laws and severe instru ments, goading them by every conceivable indignity and unjust pretence to resistance, that further seventies may with some color be applied; which has no ear for complaint or remonstrance, and no arm for justice or re dress ; which has no sense of obligation, no conscience of law, no fear of God ; and whose infatuated leaders, rather than be displaced, are ready to sacrifice even the skeleton of the constitution which only remains, and plunge the country into irretrievable ruin ; this par ty, we say, is not to be the instrument of our salvation, except by its own destruction. It must go down down to death, shame, oblivion ; out of place, out of sight, out of thought. It can make no promises that will not spee-' duy break, inaugurate no measures that it will not disregard, and claim no patriotism that will not be simply a convenient mask to deceive the people to their ruin. If neither of the great parties is to be re lied on for the salvation of the country, what then ? Is there salva- sidered. immense power and patronage to mere party reaTclaiins of the'whole'countrY. In its avid- that have come upon us? ity to promote its base and treacherous purposes, lion ? it nroved to be corrupt, and violated honor, In another paper this question will be con trust and patriotism. Iu a word, the Demo eiatic natty. i 1G0, betrayed its trust, tind suffered a terrible retribution therefor. Painful FUTURE POLITICS OF THE SOUTH. as were these lessons, sore as was this di teat, and calculated to enlighten as well as punl-h, yet we buhold this party resusie'uatcd and con fided in by the whole nation in lbb, repeating d blunders, to the utter ue- amendment is hardly worth the support of its friends or the opposition of its enemies ; for even if it should be ratified, it will never theless be null and nugatory. Ve do not judge it probable, however that tho fcuffrage will be withdrawn from the i.egroes in the reconstructed States. If, aj -oems likely, the negroes should be influenced by the common public freuiiment of their section the object fer which they were enfranchised will be defeated without any necessity for dir rributing the new order of things. The with drawal cf the army and Freed man's llurtiu leprives the Republicans of their machinery for controlling the negro vote. While the ne groes were fed by the Bureau they wcie willing to exchange votes lor rations: but l.crealtcr r - they will be under thq control of L-cil influen ces. Their interests will always be identical with the interests of their section : and whtn questions of finance and taxation loem up into prominence, as tney will as soon as all the Nate arc readmitted, tho negroes will be found voting steadily with the Democratic party. lhe bouth will always be an exporting com munity, and therefore a strong free trade community. The cotton crop is too abundant for more than a small fraction of .it to find a domestic market; and it is so obviously far the advantage ot those who send products abroad for a market to have the tariff abolished, that no protectionist sophistry can confuse even the Southern negroes. The tariff U cried ud to the Northern farmers on the ground that, by bull J lDg up manufacturers in their neighborhood, it supplies them with a homo market. Rnt a home market For the Southern cotton crop is an absurdity. The bulk of it will always bo exported, and the price of the small part that is consumed at home will be governed by the price abroad. The stupidest ncgio on the Southern plantations can see, as clearly as any body sees, that the tariff increases the'price if the goods he has occasion to buy, and that Lis wages or his share of the crop would be worth more to him if the tariff were abolished. Tie protectionists try to befool the Northern farmer by tclli'ig him if the tariff compels him to piy more for what he has to buy, it compensates bim to get more f.r what he ha to sell. Hut the chief article which the South has to sell must necessarily be sold in a foreign market, and its producers get no part of the pretended compensation for the high prices auscd by the tariff. Light taxes and cheap goods arc for the interests of the negroes, as they are for the in terest of everybody ; and when economical- questions come uppermost in politics, the pre- m m m. ' ... - " vailing sentiment ot the bouth will be so de cisively on the Democratic fide that the ne groes cannot fail to share it. The fact that the attention of all classes iu the South is so large ly given to industrial recuperation, is an .in dicition that that section will enter very read y.W'9 Artfwomlnrv' piiiii n flrQjijr un"Ui Democratic side.

This is the frrept curse ot our country, wnicn perpetuates abuses by inspiring venal sympathy in parties towards their continuance. V iewed irom another standpoint, the repre sentatives of the people on the floor of Congress are destitute ot that politeness and dignity which characterize honorable men. Men who, in privat3 life, may possess urban ity, politeness and the graces of deportment, the moment they take possession of a seat in Consri ess appear to undenro a sudden retroac- tion into demons, or when least changed, into rowdies and braggarts. It is wonderful how little sense of conscious dignity appears to influence our modern Conr gress. Turbulence, pe.tulence, rudeness, bois terous, swaggering, bitter party spirit and tu multuous uproar, rule the hour. A new spirit, haying no affinities to peace, politeness or dignity, enters the bosom of the members. Quiet debate, tranquil argument, sober reas oning have all given piacu to angry altercation, petulent retort, vulgar insinuation, insolent bravado and insulting defiance.
